Any ideas? How would i go about removing the son of a gun? I really need my car charger for my Palm Pre, the battery always dies...
I pressed mine in and tried to pry it out with the ignition off and it is locked in. It only popped out when the ignition was on and it heated up.
I have noticed on some lighters that if you turn them they make contact and then they heat and pop out.
Could your fuse be blown?
